Women whose body fat exceeds 30% and men whose body fat exceeds 25% are generally considered obese.
Obesity is normally determined by Body Mass Index. Accurate determinations of body fat percentage are highly problematic. Typically a person with BMI > 30 would be considered obese and would have a body fat percentage of 25% or more.
When one's body fat becomes 20 percent higher than normal they are considered obese. If one's body mass index is over 30 they are considered obese. Sometimes diet and exercise works but after those avenues have been explored with no avail, bariatric surgery can become an option.
For a woman to be considered fit she should have between 21���24% body fat. If a woman's body fat level gets up around 31% she would be considered unhealthy or obese. A man would be considered fit if his body fat was around 14���17%. At around 24, 25 % body fat a man would be considered obese or unhealthy.
